    Guard: Kobe Bryant (he could have done more ... they say he's the best player in the world, fair enough ... but you'd expect him to be the team's MVP not D-Wade..)
    Guard: Wei Liu (8.5ppg, 3.8rpg & 1.7apg ... he's a quality player in Asian basketball and that ain't quality numbers especially on home turf)

      I love lists

      All Tournament:

      Center: Yao Ming (no question)
      Forward: Luis Scola (no question)
      Forward: LeBron James (an athletic player who played good team ball)
      Guard: Sarunas Jasikevicius (always a lock)
      Guard: JR Holden (overlooked by many people because of his disappointing team)

      All Non USA:

      Centre: Yao Ming
      Forward: Luis Scola
      Forward: Brad Newley (come on, he made a major impact)
      Guard: Sarunas Jasikevicius
      Guard: JR Holden


      All Breakout:
      Center: Hamed Ehadadi (at worst, he could be a solid center in the NBA or EL)
      Forward: Brad Newley (come on, he's good)
      Forward: ??
      Guard: Rudy Fernandez (I'd never seen him play before, so he's new to me!!)
      Guard: Patrick Mills (I don't think he was as brilliant as some people say, but he's good)


      All Disappointment:

      Center: Andrew Bogut (he doesn't deserve all the blame, but I've seen him play much better)
      Forward: Greek forwards (we expected more)
      Forward: Russian forwards (we expected more)
      Guard: Pablo Prigioni (it's hard to live up to Pepe Sanchez)
      Guard: Hamed Afagh (he's so fun to watch, I expected more)

        Overall, I like your list (too tired to make my own), however I have to disagree with you on Kobe. I thought he did a good job (and trust me, I'm not a fan). He wasn't brought in for scoring, he was brought in for D, which he did a good job of. He was also very clutch in the championship game.

        Well, to each their own...

            Wow, again someone is quick with such a big word. What is wrong with you people? He made an all-tournament-selection. Or is it the good old clichees?

            Everything's subjective. I like that team, Reyes was excellent, arguably the best Spanish player if you take all the games together. Scola was excellent too. Bosh was extremely effective. I wouldn't haven chosen Bouroussis, but he played well.

            Someone should have told him that.

              Kobe was all-disappointment in the group stages but played better in the knockout rounds. Here is the correct all-disappointment team

              Calderon
              Ukic
              Gomes
              Dirk
              Yi

              Honorable mention to Oberto, who was non-existent in the big games against Greece and the US.

              All-Breakout:

              Bourousis
              Wade (hey, coming off some major injuries...)
              Rudy!
              Ricky!
              Millsy!

                    Cipriano was definetely disappointing. I assume that he must have been injured, because he only played a total of 53 minutes in 5 games. He played 32 minutes against Germany in his first game. Perhaps he was injured then. But you're right, Cap'n. He normally should be one of the top players in any tournament.

                      If you had followed his "progress" and games during the season, you wouldn't have. He played as expected.

                        He didn't play at least last two games of the tourney
                        It's a bird? It's a plane? No, it's Rudy!

                          You might be right, but a lot of people (like me) keep hoping and hoping and hoping that Sofo improves. We think about 5 or 6 years ago when the press was calling him the Second Coming of Bill Russel, and now...well, you know.

                          So he was injured, right?
